A support person at Sun said it was just going into a Beta phase. He estimated that it would be another 3 months or so. Thomas Richardson

Here are some of SunOS 4.1 release plan's highlights:- o It is to be fully compatible with POSIX 1003.1, FIPS 151-1, X/Open's XPG2 and most of X/Open's XPG3 and SVID Issue 2. o The number of file descriptors has increased to 256 from 64, with a Sun promise of "even more in the next release." o The introduction of an adaptive NFS retransmission which, among other things, allows the system to distinguish between a network that is slow from one that is down. o SunOS's internal version has been eliminated, with one version now to be used throughout the world. o SunOS 4.1 has eliminated the "forced write" semantic, thus allowing files with short lifetimes to remain in memory. -Ashok Segu aksegu@uts.amdahl.com ....!uts.amdahl.com!aksegu

In reading the release notes for SunOS 4.1, they mention that the kernel will cause a "system crash" if the size is greater than 1441792 bytes. They mention that this is the case for "sun3". Has anyone excperienced this problem. Also has any one seen this problem on a sun4c (Sparcstation). We are experiencing kernel crashes and was wondering if this could be a possible cause. Thanks
